I think only the first 14 of the 1000 series had hand hammered aluminum bodes by AC.

I paid well north of 300K for my car because of its rarity and quality. Also because Carroll was directly involved with making the 1000 cars happen, keeping them true to the original heritage even wearing AC Cobra badging on the nose.

In my opinion, the Aluminum 4000 cars built in the living years are approaching the 200K mark, maybe not yet but soon.

I think you do have one of the very special continuation cars (1000 series) that can claim to be be the second closest relatives to the originals (I consider the McCluskeys to be first), and I think they are in a class all by them selves. I saw one of them being delivered to SAI when they were up at the race track and it was simply gorgeous seeing this filed aluminum body on the open truck (presumably from a railyard). Then talked about the remaining transformation to bring it to finished roller. It's a lot of work!
